Pra-Perancangan Pabrik Monoetanolamin (Mea) dari Etilen Oksida dan Amonia Dengan Katalis SiO2-Al2O3 Kapasitas 11.000 TON/TAHUN

Abstract

Monoethanolamine is an organic compound that is commonly used for CO2 gas absorption, detergent manufacturing, and anti-rust materials. The factory is planned to be established in Bandar Lampung City, Lampung Province with an area of 87,000 m2 . Monoethanolamine is produced by reacting ammonia and ethylene oxide in the liquid phase, in a multitube fixed bed reactor. The reaction that occurs is an exothermic reaction that requires a refrigerant to maintain the temperature. The main product is 99% monoethanolamine as much as 11,000 tons/year with byproducts in the form of diethanolamine as much as 272 tons/year and triethanolamine as much as 94 tons/year. The raw materials used are ammonia as much as 3,657,706 kg/hour and ethylene oxide as much as 7,514 tons/year. The water requirement for utilities is 1.020.786,220 kg/hour, the electricity requirement is 2,144,739 kW and the steam requirement is 18,108.82 kg/hour. From the economic analysis, FCI was obtained of Rp.350,851,613,494 and working capital of Rp. 61,914,990,617 assuming that this factory is low risk, then the RoI is obtained 15.125%. Based on the economic evaluation data, the monoethanolamine factory is feasible to be established
